I Hve been so busy over the last months, i apologize for not updating you all, The Hammerhead Nation has been restless!
Alot been happening and all great , I managed to get back into wrestling after being out with some minor injuries..Ill be back into Chaotic Wrestling and back into the other promotions that I feel have been good to me. I have some interesting articles that will be written about me in some well-known newspapers and web sites, i am really happy with my career as a strongman and a wrestling performer. I have met some fantastic people over the last two years and if it wasnt for me getting out of a situation and a relationship that pretty much held me back in April of 2009 I would never be where I am today.  I wasn't happy but know i can say the choices that i made and the people I have alighned myself with have nothing but the best intentions for me and my  well-being, for this, i am truley blessed . I put the drama behind me and now can concentrate on what i was meant to do..  Thats to entertain fans and friends.. i have been in the gym over the last 4 months getting incredibly strong mentally and above all physically.. peace.. 
 
 
I just relized that its been about a year i hit up the commentary ,
Its been  CRAZY YEAR to say the least, i am so grateful to some of my friends and family that has supported me over the last two years, I moved  into the next  phase of my strongman career. I m on a roll. ..... BE BACK THIS WEEK WITH LOTSA INFO!

Remember this was to show that I had one of the hardest/strongest skulls walking the planet, that was the story not so much the crazy ass demos I do, the main thing is to prove i have a genetic difference  then the average human being and they proved it... 

 

I thought the whole segment for me was well done.. They built up speculation with the feats I do  like the cinderblock break and  bowling ball break..  2 of the feats that  are truly spectacular, The Impact Team did not show up for this event, they confirmed and no –showed. I would have loved to show what kind of impact I take, Explain Physics all you may, I take a good blow to my skull every time I perform this demonstration. I have done this feat with 1 patio block 1.50 thick and having an 18 lb bowlingball dropped from 10 feet…Not many could take that punishment, but my skulls density enables me to take such impacts over and over.    

 

The Impact team that were supposed to come were going to put impact pads on my skull and on the iron bars, concrete bricks and cinderblocks.. I would have loved that!  

 

I HAVE TO ADMIT I WAS DISAPOINTED THEY DID NOT SHOW THE VIEWERS  4 OF MY OTHER FEATS but that would have given away the answer and killed off the story they are trying to reveal, After I watched it the second time I picked that up... they needed to create a story and I think 

 

If You take a look at this  pic, it was taken by Snakeplissken at the Flea Market(look to the left inside the cinderblock-u can see the the jackhammer drilling away! It’s a dangerous and exciting demonstration of iron skull toughness most fans enjoy! Which was performed in front of about 150-200 onlookers and got an awesome response from the crowd(this was taped by my friend Anthony and I will be putting that on this site in a few days!  They did not show the feat  because they wanted to show something  different maybe they felt it was redundant  as having somthing else broken over my head..

They instead went with the Nail driving exhibition I do.  know they  were short for time but I did  explain what happens in this feat and showed them another piece of sheetmetal/2x4 .. with broken nails going thru it.. and how dangerous it is..and the big scar I got from doing this feat...They didn't show the explanation just a blip..  I am the only strongman that has actually driven a .250 inch diameter  x  8 inch spike thru a 2x4 incased with a 1/16 thick pc of sheet metal.. REMEMBER I AM DRIVING THIS SPIKE THRU METAL N HARD PINE! Danial inspected everything and the wood (White Pine)and the sheet metal  thickness.. .. I've broken weaker nails in half and heavier SPIKES I bend them too. if the nail is not driven straight thru it, I destroy the nail because if cannot take the force and velocity I have to slam upon it not to mention the spike tips are either broken or dulled going thru the sheet metal..  I could not get a good position because of the cameras and they need to get a better view. There was a lot of stop then go during the filming, which in turn I could not get in the zone properly, not to mention I missed the towel due to the angle they wanted me to come in on. I did the feat twice that day and both spikes bent under the pressure... all in all  I know it looked brutal ... thats what they wanted thats what they got! I perform this feat many times in the past, sometimes things don’t go your way, I NEVER GET BEAT UP LIKE THAT! There is a link on the front page with me doing the same feat,   

:

They did not show me breaking 3 patiobricks2"x8x16 inch (I've done as much as 4) lined up on the side (the 8 inch side) in a holder-no spacers- no towel  for protection-just crashed thru them-head on concrete, a extremely difficult brick break  where as gravity doesnt  come into play and i'm not stacking bricks with spacers to make the feat easier plus like i mentioned -its skull on concrete -no padding or towel !

They showed the ironbar smashing I BROKE OVER 1 1/2 INCHES OF METAL,, the bars I use are the legit bars the Shaolin monks use in their demonstrations-they use 1  or 2 ..I use up to 8.  They didn't get Daniel checking them out and testing them as he did with everything , as the STEEL BAR BENDING -they showed a lil clip in a commercial but that was that.. I bend it a unique way -I bent it around the top of my head flip it up and rebend it using my head as the base to bend it back straight! I never use a towel or a pad, my skull is hard and tough, i dont need  a pad. I will have the feat up in a few weeks...the pressure that the bar puts on my head when I reverse the bar and bend it straight is incredibly intense, I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE THAT MEASURED IN LBS!

I also have loved them showing me training Ironhead, where as I would show them me performing what i feel is the World Head Lift Record,  basically me lifting 540lbs on a barbell  in a power rack with my bare skull!

 

 .I believe this would have hurt the story line  they were building  not helped it.. They wanted to build up speculation and skepticism and say my abilities were not what they appear .. In the end it was like this guy does have  a genetic diffrence. It cracks me up skeptics pull apart everything that you do but in the long run... I have medical and solid proof my skull is what it is..I am genetically diffrent then most people and I love to entertain all with a my god -given gift, i choose to smash, bash and break things with my skull  to show my skill..  

 

The hospital  trip was was great, I spent 1 hour under the MRI, and the results came out and The whole crew was pumped and i was too, I have to tell you, But I always had an idea-one does not smash thru an oak door ripping it off two of three of its hinges:) , Brighams N Womans Hospital (Harvard Medical School) Dr.Shelton Chris Nowinski and the medical staff was were amazed, they havent seen anything like that ever and had other doctors come in, Also they did not mention that my Skull  had no stress cracks, signs of fractures/injuries  and   I did not suffer from  acromegaly, a disease that results in an over abundance of growth hormones. Also known as Gigantism (Andre the Giant and The Great Kahli suffer from this)

 

 I had an awesome time with the crew from the UK and Daniel Browning Smith was truly the nicest guy, Dom and the rest of the crew and the staff at the hospital n Chris Nnowinski--thank you so much.. big shout out to Joey n Dave, Chaotic wrestling Jamie, Mark and the workers and all that helped me thats dayand most of all having my name associated with STAN LEE   is beyond  words can describe!!  I hope everyone enjoyed the show  and to all I may have forgot to mention thank you!
